Dillon Thieneman: Cowboys' Draft Pick?

0:00On April 18th, Dallas Cowboys fans are buzzing about the NFL draft, especially with their 12th overall pick and a clear need at safety in the... Secondary, they hold two first round selections, giving them leverage to trade up if needed for elite defensive talent. Names like Caleb Downes, Sunny Styles, Mansour Delayne, Rubin Bane Jr. and David Bailey topped the wish list as game changes for the defense, but a fresh prospect just entered the conversation. NFL analyst Daniel Jeremiah spotlighted Oregon Safety, Dylan Dianaman, as a perfect fit at number 12. It boils down to coaching ties. Tosh LaPoi, Oregon's defensive coordinator from 2022 to 2025, knows the in-man inside out. LaPoi cross paths with Cowboys defensive backs coach Derek Anzli back at Alabama, where Anzli worked the secondary. That shared history makes the in-man a sneaky smart pick for Dallas. No top 30 visit has happened yet, so he might not be the top priority, but these connections have folks watching closely as draft-a-nears.
